“I read the whole book the week I got it. Now, I’m going back every Sunday to see what’s going to be happening the upcoming week.
It’s really quite an amusing book. Not all sappy like the What to Expect book. This girl tells it like it is. What you’re hemorrhoids really look like, (eewww) right down to the emotional things like feelings about sex.”

“First off, I'm excited to tell you that there is a new pregnancy book out there that doesn't totally SUCK ASS! Isn't that awesome? A while back I got an advance copy of the new book Frankly Pregnant by Stacy Quarty with Miriam Greene, M.D.
Stacy Quarty runs the bulletin board FranklyPregnant.com and the doc is the gal that delivered Miranda on Sex & The City (apparently, she's not just an actress!).
The book is very much like a pregnancy blog, actually. She goes week by week journaling her second pregnancy, sharing all her symptoms and adding lots of anecdotes about her girlfriend's pregnancies. The doc interjects at various points her opinions and experiences as well.
Overall, it's a nice read. It's not as preachy and dumbed-down as What to Expect (gah, I hate that book), not as snarky and snide (and falsely confiding) as The Girlfriend's Guide to Pregnancy, and more personal than Your Pregnancy Week by Week (which, incidentally, is the only other one I don't hate, although I'm not overly fond of it).
Overall, though, it's really pretty informative and fun to read.”

"Just wanted to tell you that I read your book from the beginning. I absolutely love it. I think it is soooo funny. I laughed aloud a couple times: like the incident at the bank with the tissue; the diarrhea incident; and how you just can't stand your husband. I also love the part when you met Dr. Greene and people kept asking her how to get pregnant and she said, "put the penis in the vagina." Then you said you knew you would get along great!
Anyway, I can't wait until it comes out officially. I am a full supporter!"

“I absolutely loved it! It's so honest and encouraging! I'm reading it week by week and, believe me, I need it right now! I'm 34 weeks along now and it’s great to have a partner in all of this.”
